Headquartered in Cape Canaveral, Florida, Mach33 employs approximately 11 to 50 professionals and has built a reputation as the financial engine for next-generation space infrastructure.

Detailed Review

History and Founding

Mach33 Financial Group traces its roots to 2020, when Aaron Burnett co-founded Spaced Ventures, an early-stage space investment platform. In a strategic pivot announced via LinkedIn, the company rebranded as Mach33 Financial Group, expanding its scope from venture investing to a full-spectrum financial services model. The name “Mach33” reflects the company’s focus on high-velocity growth and the speed of space innovation.

Business Model and Core Services

Today, Mach33 operates three core business lines: Mach33 Research, an investment research service providing curated news, original reports, forecasts, and commentary on space companies and technologies; Mach33 Asset Management, an alternative asset manager building funds targeting launch infrastructure, satellite services, and other capital needs; and Capital Markets & Venture Advisory, which advises and invests in space startups, often taking lead or co-lead roles in funding rounds. The Space Research Platform complements these offerings with membership-based updates on SpaceX and other key players.

Market Position and Notable Deals

Mach33 positions itself as a dedicated space-finance intermediary, filling a gap between traditional investment banks and space-focused venture funds. Its public profile grew significantly in April 2026 when it led the $50 million Series A for Portal Space Systems, a Seattle-based startup building high-maneuverability satellite buses. The investment was made alongside ARK Invest, FUSE, Geodesic Capital, and Booz Allen Ventures, signaling Mach33’s ability to anchor large, institutional-grade deals. The firm’s headquarters in Cape Canaveral places it at the nexus of U.S. launch activity, with proximity to established players and the emerging NewSpace ecosystem.

Leadership and Team

The firm’s leadership combines capital markets expertise with deep space industry access. Group CEO Aaron Burnett previously founded Spaced Ventures and has built a network spanning SpaceX, Blue Origin, and defense primes. Group Chairman and CIO Brant Arseneau brings decades of front-office and back-office experience, while Group COO Brad Arseneau oversees operations, compliance, and client services. Despite a relatively small headcount of 11–50 employees, Mach33 has carved out a niche as a trusted financial partner for the space sector.
